S4 E21 - Celebrity Chef Justin Sutherland

Happy Northern Soul Grand Opening Day everyone! Today is the day the Grand View Lodge officially opens up the Brainerd Lakes Area's newest restaurant, Justin Sutherland's Northern Soul Smokehouse at The Preserve. The Iron Chef America winner, and Top Chef contestant tells us all about how he got into that industry, what some of his top TV moments have been, the decision to partner with Grand View Lodge to open this restaurant with them and what's it's like being a "celebrity chef." Along with Justin, the Listen Local guys catch up with Grand View Lodge General Manager Dennis Wilson, Director of Marketing for Cote Family Destinations Frank Soukup, and GVL Executive Chef Bill Coyle. Thanks to Justin and all of the GVL crew for stopping by the show, and letting us get a sample of the food as well. It very well could be the best BBQ our LL team has had! Last but certainly not least, thank you to all of our amazing listeners for making us the "Most Entertaining Podcast in the BLA!"And of course thank you so much to our sponsors Hanneken Insurance, Lakes Area CPAs, Outlet Recreation Crosslake, Posture Pro Chiropractic and our presenting sponsor Tyler Gardner with Pequot Lakes and Gull Lake Sanitation!
